Glemy Toto's arc is just weird, and it seems like that the scheming political Glemy was supposed to be Char, but was changed to Glemy because CCA was being made. Honestly, because of that, it would have made even more sense to have Char appear in ZZ to lead up to CCA. It would have been really cool to have a Neo Zeon civil war with factions led by Char and Haman Karn. The big difference is, Char survives and then goes on to try and drop an asteroid on earth. Would have been cool to see what Amuro was up to during ZZ, too. ZZ is just a weird show that is both a jarring change from Zeta, and then another jarring change when it becomes serious halfway through. I also really hate Beecha.

I honestly wished ZZ had just stuck with being straight goofy. Also, thanks for the recommendations. Guess I'll get on that.

CCA's plot wouldn't have made much sense without Neo Zeon obliterating itself in ZZ, though; there isn't really room for one faction to "win" because the Federation is so crippled in ZZ that whichever Neo Zeon faction won would have taken everything.

You could probably just have the winning Neo Zeon faction so worn out and crippled in the process of winning they need to take a few years to recuperate supplies and find more members, the way A.E.U.G. was at the end of Zeta basically. Erd posted:Those masks were stupid, but they were space-stupid, timelessly stupid. Not 'it's the 80's' stupid. The character designs in ZZ have aged like a sideways ponytail. If you say so. Personally I think they're just plain stupid. Char's mask especially so, since as far as I recall, he was a kid when his father died so by the time he joins Zeon his face will be a lot different. No-one would recognize him anyways, any one who looked at him would just think his face looks kinda similar to about a thousand other blond people. The mask actually makes him stand out more, not less. Kycillia at least had the excuse of not liking the air in colonies or something, so she's like the people in Japan that walk around wearing little paper breath masks. Endorph posted:China is kinda bland and Kirara could be taken in a weird way but I actually like that Sei's mom is A) alive and B) has a distinguishable personality. Well we can at least hope for better with the Finnish character who's set to appear in future, since she's a fairly serious looking pilot who won the previous World Championship and pilots a Quebeley variant. She might even have some element of Haman in her personality and effectiveness if they make her a villain.

What little we've seen so far (emotionless, dark aura, heavy escort of minders, cryptic utterances, big, scary suit with lots of attack drones) makes her look like the Build Fighters take on the standard Victim Newtype Girl. On the plus side, though, the show has been so happy, good-natured, and light-hearted so far that there's a chance something horrible won't actually happen to her. Mayb she'll end up as Reiji's love interest? I mean, it's not exactly a huge step forward for feminism, but it's a better option than most of the fates for characters of her type in this franchise.

More Gundam fanart courtesy of a pretty cool artist on /m/: Notes from the guy in question on suit design: Anonymous Artist on m posted:Gundam Lonestar: Piloted by Autrey Duke, this MS serves as the means of transport for the newly appointed Sheriff of Side-13, aka Sui-Side Springs. His main attack is the revolver punch which shoots a robot shattering shockwave with every haymaker he swings. He defends Sui-Side Springs from the menace of space outlaws like the Wild Zams, Space Pirates led by Gundam Blackbeard, and Space Vampires led by Gundam Feratu. May also include Unicorn style transformation taken to extreme with a normal mode for walking around town talking to folks and a beefed up "High Noon" mode for dealing with bandits. It saddens me that this will never be a real show in the vein of G Gundam. tsob fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Nov 12, 2013 |

As long as it's a really, really buff clown who looks disturbingly like Ronald McDonald and he's grinning maniacally as he flies at the enemy I don't have a problem with that as a homage.

I wouldn't have it any other way. So in Shin Gundam Musou/Dynasty Warriors Gundam 4 news, they've added the SEED/SEED Destiny druggies and their respective Gundams. Unfortunately I think the only ones that'll perform in any sort of unique manner will be the Raider and maybe the Abyss and Chaos.

I thought Glemy's big change came after he got stranded in... the Sahara? and went completely nuts from sunstroke. Would explain a ~lot~ of his weird poo poo later on. Been awhile since I watched the show though.

Endorph posted:When are we getting Bernie and Chris? We'll probably get them eventually. The SEED dudes are getting in with such numbers because they have a SEED story mode in the game and they need to pad it out with the actual guys you fight in SEED. It's the same reason you've got a lot of generic UC guys filling slots, because they've also got story modes.

I hope the character roster gets so bloated in time that I'll eventually be able to play as Zech's assistant Otto, from Gundam Wing. For most of the game you play as him in a Leo, but if you want  CHALLENGE MODE you can pilot a Tallgeese and play an entire level with 1 HP. Poor Otto.

Hey so my brother is staying with me for a month or so and we've been watching some Gundam together. We're just about to finish 00 season 1,and he says he wants to watch season 2. I haven't heard too many good things about the second season (or the movie) so I was wondering if you guys could tell me if it's worth watching, especially since he's only going to be moving out soon and I'd rather not waste that time watching something bad/mediocre.

It's mostly mediocre with a lot of wasted potential. Not terrible, or anything. But honestly if he's about to leave and he really wants to watch it you might as well unless you can convince him to watch something better.

The first season closes a lot of plot threads but leaves a few open. The second season and movie aren't as good as the first season; I won't go so far as to say they wreck the first season but some people do. Turn A is excellent once you get over how gullible and/or what willing victims the Moonrace are.
